hey guys i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with a problem i've got. being a PC builing virgin I decided to copy a build (more or less) suggested on this site, but when it came to firing it up the hard drive couldn't be seen in the bios, i've tried all combinations of sata ports and different sata cables, but while the DVD drive can be seen there is no sign of the HDD! It has power there i can hear and feel clicking from the unit.
here's the build i've used,
Item: AMD Athlon II X4 630 Socket AM3 2.8GHz 2MB L2 Cache Retail Boxed Processor
Item: ASUS M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 880G Socket AM3 HDMI DVI VGA Out 8 Channel Audio MATX Motherboard
Item: OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 Gold i5 Memory Kit 1.65V CL8(8-8-8-24)
Item: Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache - OEM
Item: LG GH22NS50 22x SATA DVD±RW Dual Layer & RAM Black Bare Drive - OEM
Item: Casecom 6788 Black Mid Tower Case with Full Black Interior/Exterior 120mm Blue LED Front Fan - No PSU
Item: Corsair 400W CX PSU - 12cm Fan 80Plus Certified Efficiency 6x SATA 1x PCI-E
i've attempted installing windows 7 but it cant find any drivers or anywhere to install to?
any help would be greatly appriciated,
cheers in advance, mush
